If you really must I think you can. I drove about 300 miles on a spare at around 65. If I had a choice I wouldn't though. I was about 1500 miles from home when this happened.

I literally stopped at every place possible to find another tire to use until I got home and didn't find anyone that had a comparable size until about 300 miles later.

You should not make that trip on a spare tire. Either replace or repair the tire or take another car.

Haha,

I ended up getting new tires, cheap Hankooks though. The damaged one was unrepairable, and I didn't want to drive with the spare on in the rain that day.

Thanks everyone.
